ITS ALL YOURS.
Sri Lanka is emerging as the Indian
Ocean’s exciting discovery destination
for luxury travelers, beach lovers, and
adventure seekers. Easily reached from
Europe and Asia’s major ports of call,
Sri Lanka’s rarefied natural beauty,
cultural diversity, and fascinating
history are celebrating a revival, a
welcome restoration and renewal that
beckons visitors eager to discover the
exotic mysteries of this fascinating
island, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
Millions of years ago the island we
know as Sri Lanka was detached from
the southern Indian subcontinent in
a violent collision of tectonic plates
leaving it adrift in the Indian Ocean.
A land bridge, now submerged, linked
migrations over time, creating a
flourishing agricultural, hunting and
fishing culture, culminating in an
intriguing beautiful Buddhist enclave.
Asian and European explorers
discovered its wealth and exploited its
natural resources while contributing to
the island’s growth and development.
Formerly known as Ceylon and famed
worldwide for its extraordinary teas,
the plantations and trade created a
population known for its diversity
and commerce. Portuguese, Dutch
and English influences remain a part
of the historic fabric of Sri Lanka.
Colonialism and independence, natural
disasters and resilient peoples have
formed a nation that now attracts and
welcomes tourists from around the
world.

boasts an extraordinary
panoramic view from its
singular perch on a bluff
above the sparkling white
sandy beaches of Sri
Lanka’s central southern
coast.

of the country's most iconic locations
with a palace atop a rock peak.
Also on the agenda is a visit to
Dambulla Cave Temple, a cave

introduced in Matale. In two of the
countries most popular towns - Galle,
a traditional dutch fort, and the World
Heritage Site of Kandy - guests are
treated to tours of each location's
highlights.
Also, I'm not sure if you're interested
but if you wanted to quote about
tourism in Sri Lanka I got one from
Andrew Carroll, global head of sales
and marketing for Exotic Voyages (see
below). He'd also be able to answer any
questions you may have.
"For many years Sri Lanka's tourism suffered due to the civil
war but all its political unrest is firmly in the past. Unlike
some countries that rely on 'Dark Tourism' to attract visitors
the country has focused on its stunning natural beauty to draw
guests in. With a rapidly developing tourism infrastructure,
safaris that bring you up close to elephants and other
magnificent animals, a fascinating colonial history, rich culture,
and stunning beaches, along with some of the friendliest people
we've met, we feel this sleeping giant will be on the up in 2017
and have already seen an increase in visitors in recent years."
